TFA Thoughts #2

       At the this point in Thubgs Fall Apart, things are indeed falling apart. Okonkwo has been banished and on top of that his eldest son has converted to Christianity. Yet, Okonkwo continues to work to be successful and manly. It all eventually pays off because at the end of his seven years of banishment, he is ready to return home with his now grown and beautiful daughters, wealth from where he settled, and a plan to make for the lost time. Although, the most obvious character change is Nwoye as he abandons his clan, family, and their beliefs for a religion that brings him peace and understanding. I think that a notable character development in Ezimna is also important to analyze, because even though she has always been her father's favorite, it reaches new heights during the during the time away from Umofia. She is now considered the most beautiful woman in the clan and has developed a deep relationship with her father in which they truly understand one another.
